Malgré les nombreux périls auxquels le village de St Marcellin en Forez a du faire face, le village recèle de trésors architecturaux comme le Pont du diable, classé monument historique depuis 1921. Il est l'un des ponts les mieux conservés du Forez.
Il se situe à quelques kilomètres du bourg, au lieu dit Vérines. C'est un pont haut et étroit à deux arches datant du XIVème siècle. La Mare est la petite rivière qu'il enjambe. Ce pont semble mener nulle part. Pourtant il a facilité les communications entre la plaine et la montagne car plusieurs voies convergeant vers lui. On pense qu'il facilitait le passage des mulets chargés de chaux extraite à Sury-le-Comtal, en direction du Velay. On n'explique pas autrement la présence d'un pont qui n'était pas vraiment nécessaire au franchissement d'une rivière de cette taille sauf en période de crues, la Mare est une rivière assez capricieuse.
Classé Monument Historique en 1921, le Pont de Vérines connu sous l'appellation "Pont du Diable" ou "Pont Peyrard" franchit La Mare, rivière à régime torrentiel, au débouché des Monts du Forez. Formant un dos d'âne et composé de deux arches, son élan au-dessus de l'eau est impressionnant . L'avant bec de la pile était destiné à réduire les remous et à dévier les corps flottants. Sa hauteur peut indiquer le niveau des crues autrefois.
Ce pont est mentionné dans une charte du Forez au XIVème siècle sous l'appellation 'pont nouveau' et devait donc remplacer un plus ancien. Des moulins existaient au même endroit, leur association avec des ponts étant très fréquente au Moyen-Age. Cependant, nous ignorons leur dispositif d'origine ainsi que leur relation avec le Pont de Vérines. Selon toute vraisemblance ce dernier assurait la mise au sec d'un chemin utilisé pour le commerce de la chaux entre Saint-Marcellin-en-Forez et le Velay.
Thousands of people poured into Manchester City Centre on 24th August 2024 for the annual Pride celebrations.
The streets were filled full of colour as the Manchester Pride parade set off from Deansgate. Taking on a 'Buzzin to be Queer Theme' inspired by the hardworking Manchester bee, 17,000 took part in the parade - the biggest ever number of participants according to Pride bosses.
Held each year, the parade takes place from Deansgate towards the Gay Village and sees thousands of people line the streets to take in the positive vibes of the event and to show unity with the LGBTQ+ community.
As usual, this year’s parade saw drag artists, community groups and allies take part, with the likes of Danny Beard, Tia Kofi, Su Pollard, DJ Paulette, Russell T Davies and Charity Shop Sue amongst some of the famous faces taking part.
Amongst the corporations, community groups and clubs taking part in this year’s parade were the Manchester Runners, George House Trust, Aer Lingus, Moxy Manchester, African Rainbow Family, The Proud Trust, Village Manchester Football Club and Heart radio station.
Speaking about the parade, Mark Fletcher, CEO of Manchester Pride, told the Manchester Evening News: “I am overwhelmed by the turnout of the Parade this year - it is the longest parade we have ever had, and that’s an achievement considering what we’ve had in the past. It’s free for all the community groups and LGBTQ+ organisations to take part, and we always encourage them to take part as much as possible. One of the things I always say is how proud I am of our allies who take part in the parade too.”
Adding about the theme to this year’s parade, Mark said: “We wanted to take the worker bee, which represents Manchester, and adopt that almost in a way that charts the progress of how far we’ve come in terms of LGBTQ+ equality as well as the need to ‘buzz’ the progress on a little bit too. That’s why we created the Progress Bee - we’ve used that symbol as a degree of ownership and identity. It’s part of the fabric of what Manchester stands for, and the support that we’ve had and that so many pioneers have stepped out and pushed the movement forward.
“We wanted to chart it as a hive of progress recognising all of those that have gone before us and those who take the bee on today and march for continued progress.”

This week theme gave me the opportunity to recall one of my favourite novels, Nautical Chart by Arturo Pérez-Reverte,
Loved that book!!
The most challenging was to create and paint the little paper boat, Mary made it for me.
My favourite shot, that doesn't stick to the rules of macro, it's in the comments.
Thank you for you views, favs and comments.

I received a set of fibre-tip pens for my birthday: flic.kr/p/2n9KVGr
A few colours are very close, the caps don't indicate accurately, and the pens aren't labelled or otherwise distinguishable. So I gave them names and made a swatch chart. Fussy perhaps, but enjoyable because I'm obsessed with colour. Now it will be easier to choose the pen I want.
Thank you to everyone who visits, faves, and comments.
The National Waterways Museum and floating exhibits.....
Housed in the old Llanthony Warehouse in the heart of what once was the bustling Gloucester Docks, the museum will take you on a whole new journey, charting the 200-year history of the docks and the Gloucester & Sharpness Canal.
The Grade II listed grain warehouse has been renovated, refreshed and rebranded thanks to over £1m from the Heritage Lottery Fund and DCMS/Wolfson Museums & Galleries Improvement Fund.
With fun, interactive exhibits, a café and a museum shop, you'll discover the stories of the communities that lived and continue to thrive here.
Cross-stitch is a popular form of embroidery in which X-shaped stitches are sewn in a tiled pattern to form a picture. I've focussed on a cross stitch chart which is the plans/blueprints for a project.

This looks somewhat like an eye chart test. I guess that if you can read the word surrounding the star in the middle, you probably have 20/20 vision. Actually, this is a hand-held shot from the floor of the rotunda in the Texas State Capitol building in Austin, Texas. The 4-story building is 308 feet (94 meters) tall. The Texas star in the center of the dome is actually 8 feet in diameter and looms 266 feet above the rotunda floor. If you look closely, you can see an individual between the 1 and 2 o'clock position on the second-floor balcony, and several people at the 9 o'clock position on the third-floor balcony. By the way, the eye chart test answer is "TEXAS" (what else!). If you passed the test, you don't need to eat any carrots today!

The camera in the photo is a USSR made Lubitel 166 of 6X6 film format which I own more than 25years, since I was a kid. It is still full functional and in perfect condition. It is an object of symbolic meaning for me. It was one of the first cameras I owned and it was bought to me by my father. Although I started photography since the age of 11 with a full automatic snapshot camera that was also a gift by father, when I got more involved with photography my father presented to me full manual film cameras with no automation in order to learn the fundamentals of photography. Exposure with no light meter, By calculating the exposure, adjusting shutter speed and Aperture by calculating the light through experience and study of books, light metering charts etc. This experience led me, in the future, in better handling, understanding and use of cameras in order to achieve the desired result in my photos. All these in an age when I use to photograph with film, having to wait for film process to see the results. Through time this knowledge helped me to focus myself better on studying composition techniques. I still have many things to learn though.
The most important thing that the age of film taught me is the value of each click of the shutter in any given situation of photographing. In any case we all to photograph thousands of photos that are not artistic importance but they all do play an important part of self improvement in out personal photography skills.
So a symbolic camera of my small collection of film cameras. We must always remember and pay tribute once in a while to our past. It is from were we started our personal journey and the birth instant of our foundaments in aspects of our lives.
I have done this photo in three versions. A color version, a monochromatic and a light sepia toned which is the one you see. Monochrome was chosen to enhance the feeling of time passed and the light sepia toning to give a light sentimental nostalgic feeling. The lens used is also a vintage nikon f ais mount, Helios 81N 50mm f/2.0 which I own for more than 22years from the time this words are written. Its excellent creamy bokeh and flare creates an excelent mood.
Thanks for reading!
Health to all!

Ocean swell patterns in the south pacific were mapped by island natives and represented on things called "stick charts." Stick charts were used for navigation, getting from island to island following wave patterns, and the way they interacted.

Found in situ was this abandoned summary pie chart from 1968 showing the costs for the year. Clearly, materials and labor makes up the bulk of costs, but is that really the full story?
The Fisk Tire Company was founded in 1898 and headquartered in Chicopee Falls Massachusetts at this now-abandoned office building. The largest and earliest manufacturer of automobile tires by the 1920s, there were Fisk Retail Stores in 40 states; and the Chicopee plant turned out 5,000 tires a day. The Great Depression hit Fisk hard, and its 121 retail tire stores had dwindled to three by 1934. When Fisk transformed into Uniroyal, the Chicopee plant remained its flagship U.S. factory until its closure in 1981. This office building adjoining the office is seven storeys and filled with ornate banisters and entryways, an entire employee cafeteria, and a leather lined executive meeting room.

Yay! The question finally answered! :)))
Know which day is best for your shop! I'll have a handy dandy little tool available for this soon! Special thanks to Sylvia Vincent for assistance and Excel wisdom! Actually, when I do put this up for sale, it will have to be called a collaboration. :D
Inshore survey vessel quartering the ground just off the pier's North approaches. It's fairly even for much of the bay, finally dropping away to 60+ft from one to two miles offshore. Folk imagine the sea to be really deep, but the reality is far from that. The deepest water we've seen around East Fife was the trench between Fife Ness and the May Island where we saw about 125ft on the sounder. By far the deepest water we ever had under the keel was on Loch Lomond, peaking at around 650ft; and Loch Tay showed a dropaway with a deep of slightly over 500ft in the Lawers area. Over here you need to be miles offshore before seeing such deeps, and the seabed slopes quite gradually to the deeper areas. A documentary on overfishing seen some years back showed many examples of various areas of the North Sea's bottom and they could find nowhere that wasn't heavily scarred by the grooves made by trawls being dragged across the sea bed. That's what overfishing does.
Chart Gunpowder Mills is a Scheduled Monument at Faversham Kent
Gunpowder was the only explosive available for military use and for blasting in mines and quarries until the mid-19th century. Water-powered manufacturing mills were established in England from the mid-16th century, although powder had been prepared by hand for at least 200 years. The industry expanded until the late 19th century when high explosives began to replace gunpowder. Its manufacture declined dramatically after the First World War with British production ceasing in 1976. The technology of gunpowder manufacture became increasingly complex through time with the gradual mechanisation of what were essentially hand-worked operations. Waterwheels were introduced in the 16th century, and steam engines and water turbines from the 19th century. Pressing and corning were also introduced between the 16th and 19th centuries to improve the powders. Pressing improved the explosive power of the mill cake and corning broke the pressing cake into different sizes and graded it with respect to its fineness. Additional techniques were developed throughout the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries to improve the quality and consistency of the finished product, and this in turn resulted in a variety of types of powders; ranging from large coarse-grained blasting powders used in mines and quarries, to fine varieties used, for example, in sporting guns. Gunpowder manufacturing sites are a comparatively rare class of monument with around 60 examples known nationally. Demand for gunpowder centred on the London area (for military supply), other ports (for trade), and the main metal mining areas. Most gunpowder production was, therefore, in Cumbria, the south west, and the south east around the Thames estuary. The first water-powered mills were established in south east England from the mid-16th century onwards, and many of the major technological improvements were pioneered in those mills. All sites of gunpowder production which retain significant archaeological remains and technological information and survive well will normally be identified as nationally important.
Faversham was one of the most important centres of gunpowder production nationally between the early 17th century and the closure of the gunpowder works in 1934. The incorporating mills at Chart represent one of the best surviving parts of the disused works. Although subsequent development has caused considerable disturbance to their original extent, the mills retain rare machinery and parts of the original water management system. Part excavation has shown that the monument also contains below ground remains, providing important evidence for the earlier development of the works.
Details
The monument includes part of a disused gunpowder factory situated in the western suburbs of Faversham. Chart mills are the best surviving part of Faversham Home Works, which originally comprised four groups of gunpowder mills located along the formerly wooded Westbrook valley. Chart mills survive as a standing building with intact milling machinery, associated structures and buried remains. Part of the associated water management system is also included in the scheduling. The Home Works were established in around 1560. Raw materials such as sulphur and saltpetre, and the finished gunpowder, were transported to and from the mills by way of Faversham and Oare Creeks and the Swale estuary. The works underwent several phases of alteration and redevelopment, and the visible remains at Chart mills date to the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries. These are twin pairs of adjacent, north east-south west aligned, water powered incorporating mills, where the processed ingredients were mixed and blended. Each pair of mills was powered by a centrally placed waterwheel. The north eastern mill building has an original brick blast wall at its outer gable end. The weather boarded mainly timber building, largely rebuilt during 1970s restoration for public display, houses in situ wooden and iron milling machinery. Some components have been renewed, and the edge-running, limestone millstones have been reused from the nearby Oare gunpowder works. The south western end of the building houses a wheel pit containing a breastshot iron waterwheel. To the north is part of the now dry head race which fed the waterwheel. This has been partly relined in modern materials. Running away from the mill to the north east, the partly stone lined tail race is culverted under Nobel Court road by way of an original, brick lined tunnel. Several mature yew trees situated along the south eastern edge of the monument may represent the remains of a planted blast screen. The three remaining mill buildings, containing original, centrally placed bedstones, and the south western wheel pit, were excavated during the early 1970s and are visible as exposed brick footings, with some modern consolidation. The mills are thought to date mainly to around 1815, incorporating some earlier, 18th century machine components. Two mill stones lying on the western edge of the monument were moved here from the nearby Ospringe gunpowder mills. Traces of buildings, structures and associated features dating to earlier periods of use may survive in the form of below ground remains. Three 19th century boundary marker stones within the monument, which are Listed Grade II, are included in the scheduling. A number of features are excluded from the scheduling; these are all modern railings, telegraph poles, lamp posts, street furniture, signs, fixtures and fittings, a resited Victorian lamp post, and the modern surfaces of all roads, paving and steps; the ground beneath all these features is, however, included.

Spring Sky Chart featuring Skywalker
There are over 1500 rock art paintings at Paint Rock. Spring Sky Chart is the most well known. Contrary to the name, this rock art depicts the winter sky. Kokopelli, or the Skywalker, hold significance at the vernal equinox when the shadow of the rock above it perfectly aligns perpendicularly with the bottom of his feet leading him to the sky.
